Guyanese Kwe Kwe

In Afro- Guyanese tradition the night before a wedding the couple has a Kweh Kweh. It began as a way to help dependents of the  African diaspora connected to their home traditions. The Kwe is done to celebrate the union of the couple as well as the merging of the two families. During the Kweh the couple will be giving words of wisdom from the elders, dance to traditional conga music and dance with family and friends. The families practice libation to honor those who have since past and remember the place from where we came.  Games are played as a way to teach the couples lesson on what they’re to expect from marriage and how to deal with each occasion.  Besides being a pre-wedding party, the Kweh remind us all that despite our separation from Africa and our ancestral lineage we are all still all one family.
